El reciclaje de cuentos clásicos en plataformas streaming: literatura transmedia en el aula universitaria

Abstract

Classic tales are an essential part of our collective and cultural imagination. For this reason, it is important to make them known to university students in Education and study them in depth, since they reveal many truths about the human condition, raise questions of universal scope and serve as a reference for subsequent literary creations. For this approach to the classic story to be as effective and motivating as possible, it is necessary to take advantage of the didactic possibilities offered by current technologies and audiovisual content that resignify these traditional texts. For this reason, in this article, on the one hand, we reflect on the pedagogical use of streaming platforms –ICTs such as LKTs, EPTs and ICRTs– that allow on-demand viewing of television series that recreate fairy tales in a recycling process transmedia; on the other hand, the concept of “recycling”, of recent diffusion, and its effective application to audiovisual contents inspired by popular stories are studied. As confirmation of the necessary alliance between the cultural legacy and the current media, various scenes from the Once Upon a Time series are studied from a transtextual, glossematic and semiotic-textual approach, in which the characters from stories come alive and are valid.
